Useful Directives when configuring Bugzilla

AddHandler

Tell Apache that it's OK to run CGI scripts.

AllowOverride, Options

These directives are used to tell Apache many things about + the directory they apply to. For Bugzilla's purposes, we need + them to allow script execution and .htaccess + overrides. +

DirectoryIndex

Used to tell Apache what files are indexes. If you can + not add index.cgi to the list of valid files, + you'll need to set $index_html to + 1 in localconfig so + ./checksetup.pl will create an + index.html that redirects to + index.cgi. +

ScriptInterpreterSource

Used when running Apache on windows so the shebang line + doesn't have to be changed in every Bugzilla script. +

For more information about how to configure Apache for Bugzilla, + see Section 4.4.1. +

Common Gateway Interface
(CGI)

CGI is an acronym for Common Gateway Interface. This is + a standard for interfacing an external application with a web server. Bugzilla + is an example of a CGI application. +

JavaScript

JavaScript is cool, we should talk about it. +

M

Tool Command Language
(TCL)

TCL is an open source scripting language available for Windows, + Macintosh, and Unix based systems. Bugzilla 1.0 was written in TCL but + never released. The first release of Bugzilla was 2.0, which was when + it was ported to perl. +
